Instagram Challenge: What's inside your design cube?

Take part for the chance to have your part 3D printed for free...

Our design cube demonstrates part features that are too thin or too thick, bad bosses, right and wrong ribs and other considerations to be mindful of while designing prototypes for injection moulding.

Yes, our cube is a great injection-moulding design resource, but we know from experience it's also handy for storing pens and tidying the array of miscellanea that often accumulates on an office desk.

In this competition we're curious to know how you use your cube, so we're asking what's inside your design cube? Of course, if you don't already have a design cube, you can request one for free here!
